• Creating independent language learners

• Motivation and compulsion

What will be their impact on our KS3 teaching?


Key factors

• Gradual implementation of KS2 PoSBasic understanding of grammar (noun-verb-adjective)

already in place?

• End of National Curriculum levels at KS3Put sentence-building at the centre of assessment?

• End of the Controlled Assessment at KS4Regular extended writing practice/ speaking

opportunities.

• Focus on productive skillsNeed to develop independent language learning skills.

• Grammar and translationMore work at sentence and paragraph level at KS3.

• Creating independent language learnersEarly training to use reference materials independently.

• Motivation and compulsion Provide wide ranges of approaches to get pupils to

speak and write and develop their linguistic self-esteem.

Teaching grammar and pronunciation using Literature, Music and ICT


What is grammar?

Word: vocabulary, etymology

Sentence: verbs, clauses

Text: connectives

How do I feel about grammar?


“Understand basic grammar appropriate to the language being studied, including (where relevant): feminine, masculine and neuter forms and the conjugation of high-frequency verbs; key features and patterns of the language; how to apply these, for instance, to build sentencesbuild sentences; and how these differ from or are similar to English.”

KS2 PoS

The four skills in the KS3 Programme of Study

a) speak coherently and confidently, with increasingly accurate pronunciation and intonation

b) transcribe words and short sentences that they hear with increasing accuracy

c) listen to a variety of forms of spoken language to obtain information and respond appropriately

d) read literary texts in the language [such as stories, songs, poems and letters], to stimulate ideas, develop creative expression and expand understanding of the language and culture

e) write prose using an increasingly wide range of grammar and vocabulary, write creatively to express their own ideas and opinions, and translate short written text accurately into the foreign language.

g) initiate and develop conversations, coping with unfamiliar language and unexpected responses, making use of important social conventions such as formal modes of address

h) read and show comprehension of original and adapted materials from a range of different sources, understanding the purpose, important ideas and details, and provide an accurate English translation of short, suitable material


Tools for Linguistic Creativity

The way words lookThe way words soundThe way words interact with each otherBeing playful with the links between languages


Phonic grids

Dictation

Le samedi, mon amie Paule donne des cours de français aux petits garçons qui habitent à côté.

Ils s’appellent………Paul…et Nicolas.

Paule n’est pas mariée et n’a pas d’enfants, parce qu’elle s’occupe de son père qui est très âgé.

When did you realise a particular word was masculine,feminine or plural?

Ana Tijoux: Las horas• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnRywV8Hh-U

Hace horas que te espero y hace horas no te veo hace horas que te quiero pero hace horas que te pierdo hace horas que te espero y hace horas no te veo hace horas que te quiero pero hace horas que te pierdo Hace horas que te pierdo en esta esquina solo me acompaña esta tímida neblina el sabor de tus besos impregnados al vapor de este solitario invierno quizás me olvidaste o quizás la verdad tú solo me borraste este amor es un chiste triste triste como se siente cuando todo lo perdiste la miel la piel y el riel cual es el sentido cuando la vida luego es tan cruel dame más tiempo frecuento un momento juro que mi sombra será tan discreta como tu silencio pero nunca me respondes …

Creative Grammar:Music and rhythm

Made-up songs for a specific purpose

*learning specific vocabulary and structureUse ready-made songs:http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=3kWwS1_Kark&feature=endscreen j’ai tu ashttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQyY8Cak5Ps Soy una pizzaDownload your own beats and learn vocabularyto rhythm…http://trumental.com/beats?ref=news#18630=20150529-FreeSpirit


Musical grammarMusical grammar• Why do I like this song? How does it make me feel?• What is the general theme of the song? Is it

appropriate for my class? Can it enhance cultural awareness?

• Are the words clear? Is there any slang in the song?• What is the image of the singer? (age/ style)• How typically French, Spanish, Algerian,

Colombian… are they/ is their music? • What structures are repeated in the chorus? • What tenses are used in the song?• How memorable is their official music video? • Is it a distraction?


Translation at KS3• How would you define translation

within the context of a task at KS3?

• What is the rationale for using translation from and into English at KS3?

• What translation tasks do you already do with your KS3 classes?


Translation at KS3

• KS3 translation: “rendering of words, grammatical structures and short text into English or the TL”


Translation at KS3into the Target Language

• Tests the use of suitable vocabulary in context ;• Provides pupils with an opportunity to develop their ability to

apply the grammatical structures learnt that are specific to the Target Language ;

• Provides an opportunity for pupils to reflect on the similarities and differences between languages in terms of vocabulary and structure ;

• Supports the active development of writing and speaking skills in the target language (through de-construction and re-construction) ;

• Enables students to understand language structure better and be more creative and accurate when manipulating the language independently.


Translation at KS3into English

• Helps pupils develop a wider range of comprehension strategies

• Provides a way of demonstrating understanding of texts• Provides an opportunity for pupils to consolidate their

literacy skills in their own language by paraphrasing a text or other stimulus in the TL.

• Provides an opportunity for pupils to develop greater intercultural awareness and understanding

• Provides an opportunity for pupils to develop an awareness of linguistic structure and overlaps/ gaps in meanings.


KS3 Translation activities

• Vocabulary test• Oral /written dominoes

(words or phrases)• Gap-fill exercise• Translation of sentences

illustrating a specific grammatical point

• Find the English phrases in the T L text

• Redraft someone else’s translation

English => TL TL => English

• Vocabulary test• Oral /written dominoes

(words or phrases)• Redraft someone else’s

translation

• Add titles (in English) to text in T L

• Paraphrase or summarise • Question and answer in

English • True / false or multiple

choice• Subtitles

TL use in danger?


Musical translation *Compare words in the song with transcript-correct mistakes

*Compare words in the song with the translation-what has been changed? Why?

*Cover versions of popular songs are useful as they encourage reflection on translation.Kevin, Karla y la banda-YouTube

Wrecking Ball"

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vainWe jumped never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell.A love no one could deny

Don't you ever say I just walked awayI will always want you

I can't live a lie, running for my lifeI will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ballI never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your wallsAll you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck meI put you high up in the sky

And now, you're not coming downIt slowly turned, you let me burn

And now, we're ashes on the groundDon't you ever say I just walked away

I will always want youI can't live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

En vano hoy mi corazón saltó, Pero sin preguntar, hoy te besé Un hechizo fue Amor, no lo puedo negar No me digas que sólo me alejéYo siempre te amaré Ya no mentiré, por ti escaparé Yo siempre te amaré

Es como una Demolición Golpea fuerte el corazón cada muro en mi derribas hoy lo único que hiciste tu, fue destruir sólo, fue destruir Te puse en lo alto de Cielo Y ahora no bajarás Esto cambio el fuego Me quemó Cenizas quedarán No me digas que sólo me alejé Yo siempre te amaré Ya no mentiré, por ti escaparé Yo siempre te amaré

Translation and creativity


Word Power?More opportunities for creative expression with a focus on developing independent speaking and writing skills

*Use of grammar terminology to access reference materials &understanding of different types of verbs:

infinitive endings,reflexive verbs, transitive verbs, Intransitive verbs, stem changes, order of pronouns in verb tables, tense recognition and concept.

*Reward the correct use of verbs in full sentences (stage 1)*Reward the correct use of a range of verbs (stage 2)*Reward the correct use of a range of verbs in different persons & different tenses (stage 3)


Word Power?More opportunities for creative expression with a focus on developing independent speaking and writing skills

Schemes of Work update:

Prioritise grammatical concepts

1) Choose your receptive/ productive priorities for verbse.g.

Y7 : productive: Present tense, regular/irregular, questions andNegatives, introduction to full verb paradigm, practice of the verb forms for I, you (singular), he/she, we, you (plural) they.

2) Reinforcement of adjectival agreement: masculine/ feminine and singular/ plural (applied to productive skills)

3) Incidental grammar linked with content e.g. pronouns, determiners/articles…


Playfulness with language

Premier jour Jacques Prévert, Parole

Des draps blancs dans une armoireDes draps rouges dans un litUn enfant dans sa mereSa mère dans les douleursLe père dans le couloirLe couloir dans la maisonLa maison dans la villeLa ville dans la nuitLa mort dans un criEt l’enfant dans la vie.

Une histoire?


Playfulness with language

Le message Jacques Prévert, Parole

La porte que quelqu’un a ouverteLa porte que quelqu’un a referméeLa chaise où quelqu’un s’est assisLe chat que quelqu’un a caresséLe fruit que quelqu’un a morduLa lettre que quelqu’un a lueLa chaise que quelqu’un a renverséeLa porte que quelqu’un a ouverteLa route où quelqu’un court encoreLe bois que quelqu’un traverseLa rivière où quelqu’un se jetteL’hôpital où quelqu’un est mort.

Expressions/ phrase complètes


KenningsA kenning is a form of metaphor, originally used in Anglo-Saxon and Norse poetry.

In a kenning, an object is described in a two-word phrase, such as 'whale-road' for 'sea'.

Some kennings can be more obscure than others, and are close to being a riddle.

Spontaneous SpeakingProvide regular protected lesson time for this (beginning or end) or unplanned opportunities arising in the lesson. Give them something worth talking about-encourage banter?

Reward participation and risk-taking-praise, merits, mentions in reports. This is WORK.

Give them some tools-cross-topic phrases/ prompt

Let them go.. Move away from over-correction.

Encourage language recycling.

Highlight key grammar from useful cross-topic phrases at appropriate times
